The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Tuesday 18th June 2024


The first small news post for a while now. Having a look at my to-watch list there are quite a few films waiting, hopefully I will pull my finger out and get through those relatively swiftly. In a few weeks I am off to storm the beaches of Normandy with my father, so will be taking a week off my blog while I do that. Anyway, onwards to a trio of news stories.

Cryptids is a 2023 anthology horror film that is out now on Blu-ray from Scream Team Releasing. The film has Major Harlan Dean (Joe Bob Briggs), the host of a popular radio show where he discusses all things weird and spooky. The topic for the night the film takes place is cryptozoology, but Harlan finds that with each caller to the show more and more unsettling things begin to occur around him. It features segments written and directed by such people as Brett DeJager (Bone Jangles), Billy Pon (The Circus of the Dead), Max Groah (Bong of the Living Dead), Justin M, Seaman (The Barn), John William Holt, and Zane Hershberger with Robert Kuhn. Cryptids can be purchased here.


Official photos from the wonderfully titled Demon Queen Pinball Machine have been released. This upcoming horror from director Joe Davison (who also stars) is about two video store owners (played by Davison and Francesco S. Viola) are tasked with delivering a pinball machine to a mysterious client, unaware that the machine is possessed by an evil spirit. The cast also includes Elissa Dowling, Paul Wilson, Renee Daw, Taylor Halsey, Jay Bogdanowitsch, Eddie Pollard, Austin Janowsky, and the prolific Mike Ferguson.




Finally for today, a poster and teaser trailer have been released for The Farmhouse Murders. Starring Larry Hankin (Home Alone), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Eliza Roberts (Animal House), Marlon Taylor (IT), Ben Heller (IT), and Sandy Johnson (Halloween), this is about a detective whose search for two missing students leads him to a remote farmhouse in a secluded town.
